MAY "CALL NEW ELECTION Legislator Says Governor Will Hold Present Office, and Plans Are "Under Way to .Make Isaac Stephenson Senator. MILWAUKEE, "Wis.. Aug. 4. (Special.) Now it is said that Governor LaFollette will not accept the Senatorship, but -will call a special session of the Legislature lor the election of a United States Senator. Assemblyman J. Ey Coffland, of New Richmond, Democratic member from that district, who was in Milwaukee today, said that efforts had been made to sound the members of the Legislature regarding an extra session, and their feelings re garding the Senatorrfilp, should Governor LaFollette finally decide to remain in the executive chair. Mr. Coffland 6a!d that lrom what had been told him he believed that these efforts were being made in the interest of the candidacy of Isaac Ste phenson,, of Marinette. "No one has ocme to me," said Mr. Coffland. "as I am not in their confidence, but I have it on the best authority that members have been approached and the Senatorship discussed, and I now believe that the . Governor intends to remain at Madison and permit some one ele to go to Washington." GRAFT IN BRITISH ARMY Small Fry Threaten Exposure of' Big Fish implicated. LONDON, Aug. 4. Despite all that has been said and done regarding, the war stores scandal. It is hinted that there are likely to be surprises in store, and that the scandals may yet cause the downfall ot the Conservative government. It la said that the ramifications' of some of the "grafting practices" may be as far reaching and as wide extended as the so called Equitable Life Assurance Society scandal in the United States. It is said that some of the persons im plicated, though really of no Importance in the world of politics or of business, be ing "small fry." threaten that In the event of not obtaining satisfaction, they will impeach high government officials for gross carelessness and for lack of business precautions, which made them mere tools in the hands of unscrupulous business houses. Officials interested in firms or Individuals are stated to have given indirect orders to deal with certain people, and it is alleged that civilians in authority have accepted bribes. It is also likely that the case of noncommisslo'ned officers with large banking accounts will be gone Into It will further be- urged that the supply branch of the Army "Service Corps is to tally unfit for a great war, as it has been reduced to a non-specialized branch,' largely governed "by transport arid Infan try officers who have no expert supply ex perience. The very small number of effi cient supply men were worked off their legs in South Africa, and very often were under officers totally Ignorant of supply work who would not. or who could not, refuse supplies which thetr juniors of the supply branch had condemned. In this way coarse food and rotten stores were not only sent to the troops, but were accepted by those who, if prop erly qualified, would have rejected them. It Is suggested that the supply branch of the army should -have a thorough knowledge of the world's markets, and that capable agents should be appointed who. in time of war, would be respon sible for getting supplies from contractors whose integrity was beyond doubt. Such a scheme" would probably cost $500,000' a year, but In war times it is believed it would result in the saving of many mil lions. Clarke Says He 3Ieant No Wrong. KINGSTON. Jamaica, Aug. 4.

TOKIO. Aug. 4. A report giving details' of the final pursuit and surrender of the majority of the Russian garrison on Sak halin Island has been received, as fol lows: "An Independent cavalry column on the afternoon of July 2S attacked the enemy squth, of Pale and . routed him, drjylng .him -'southward, capturing two field guns, besides a number of rifles and p. quantity of ammunition. "On July 29 the cavalry, being rein forced, vigorously pursued the enemy South of Taylah, which lies 25 miles south of Rykoff. The enemy halted at pnol, 25 miles south of Taylan, and at 5 p'qlock on the morning of July 30 sent a letter, 'under flag of truce, to the Japanese commanding officer from Gen eral Llapnoff, the Russian Governor, say ing that the lack of bandage ma terial and medicines, and the consequent Inability to succor the wounded, com piled him, from a sense of humanity, to fetinlnate hostilities. . "The commander of the Japanese force replied -demanding the .delivery -of all war supplies and property of the Russian gov ernment uninjured, and the delivers' of all maps, records and papers relating to tho civil and military administration, and re quiring their deliveryin reply at 10 o'clock on the morning of July 21. otherwise an attacking movement would be immedi ately executed. "Coloriel Tolivitch. on behalf of Gov ernor Llapnoff, met Colonel Koizumi. Japanese Chief of Staff, on the morning of July 31, and accepted the proposed terms.

GODZU, Manchuria, Aug. .4. Dispatches received from Corea report that the Jap anese have begun a simultaneous advance from Kwalchoda against the Russians, but that the north columns were checked under pressure of the Russian advance detachment.

MUNICIPAL COURT GRIST JUDGE CAMERON" LTSTENS TO INGENIOUS TALES. Acquittal of B. Chauncy Arouses Indignation of Police Officers, Who Prefer New Charge. "These policemen ought to be employed in taking in bunco men instead of arrest ing a respectable business man," said A. Newlands, a witness for B. Chauncy. res ident salesman for the Hardman Manu facturing Company, of New York, who was arrested Monday night charged with being drunk. Chauncy was defended by Judge Raid, of the Justice Court, and presented an array of evidence to Judge Cameron in Police Court that overshadowed that of police officers. Unkind things were said against the police force by Chauncy and Newlands. The latter claimed that if Chauncy had possessed a gun It would have taken the whole force to arrest him. When Judge Cameron released Chauncy the officers were Indignant, nnd Immedi ately preferred charges of trespass and disorderly conduct against him. Chauncy will be tried Tuesday. Frank O'Connor, arrested on a charge of vagrancy, and later identified by Leroy Berry and Harry Wilcox as the man who had robbed their room in the Ross House of $15 and a gold watch, was held to the grand Jury by Judge Cameron under 500 bonds, in lieu of which he was sent to the County Jail. Detectives Kerrigan and Snow arrested Francis Mitchell at Third and Daxis yesterday afternoon on sus picion of being Implicated in the same robbery. Mitchell, it is thought by the detectives, is wanted in Tacoma for es caping from the chain gang. His descrip tion tallies with that sent by Chief Mo loney, of Tacoma, and Mitchell wilf be held pending an investigation of the rob bers' and of the escape from the chain ganj. S. Feeney admitted to Judge Cameron that he frequently indulged in morphine and cocaine as a stimulant, but begged long and loudly to be permitted to leave the city" and not be sent to jail. Prose cutor Fitzgerald Informed Feeney that he had no business and was nothing but a vagrant and a bum, and ought to be locked up. "But I will get out of town at once,; honest, I will, if you just give me another chance!" said Feeney. Judge Cameron thought that as Feeney had made the same promises many times before, 30 days in the County Jail would be better for him. Edward Call, a frequent guest at the City Jail, was unable to remember that he had stolen a pair of shoes and a roll of blankets Thursday night while under the Influence of beer. He did not deny a charge of larceny, but said that If he had taken the things he did not remem ber. Judre Cameron sentenced" him to five days in jail. James Howard, 19 years of age, after remaining In jail for two days because he would not tell where he had obtained Intoxicants, confessed to Judge Cameron yesterday that he had bought a can of beer to drink with a companion. Howard claimed that the beer had been purchased by an adult for him, and consumed in the street. He was released after an ad monition from the judre. BRING ENVOYS TOGETHER (Continued from First Page.) that Russia is trying to force Japan to show her hand, gain the advantage of an armistice or secure a diplomatic ad vantage which will deprive Japan of the fruits of its victories. It is now pointed out that Russia is in various waye endeavoring to minimize tho effect of Japanese, victories, so as to en ter the conference, not as a beaten power, but upon an equal footing with Japan. The near approach of the meeting of the plenipotentiaries Is again centering popu lar attention on the question of the terms of peace. Public sentiment seems permeated with a grim determination to secure conditions regarded as commensurate with Japanese successes and, assurance that peace will be permanent, or to continue the war. EXPECTS EARLY AGREEMENT Czar Prepared to Celebrate Peace on His Son's Birthday. CHICAGO, Aug. 4. (Special.) The Daily News' correspondent at St. Petersburg says: Mr. Wltte's declarations since hts arri val in the United States have only deep ened the belief in this city that the Czar and the council at Peterhof Palace expect the first meeting at Portsmouth to result in an agreement as to peace principles before the Czarowltz's birthday on .Au gust 12. The remaining sittings presum ably will be devoted to details, such as those relating to the indemnity. Prince Troubetzkoi said today to the News correspondent: "In spile of the affected optimism of ttic government, everybody knows the hope lessness of the situation. The Japanese are now intrenched In the Amur district, and Linlevitch is forced to Inactivity. Oyama is willing "for Haseg&wa's army to begin the offensive in the interior. So the lull Is only temporary- Even though Russian cities, such as Moscow, Nljnl Novgorod and Saratoff, are occupied by Cossacks, business Is at a standstill. The treasury is depleted and famine Is ap proaching. Hence everybody Is longing for peace. "But the Czar wishes to retain his pres tige, the bureaucracy its emoluments and Linlevitch his Job. In this emergency WJtfe's cleverness is relied upon. He has received full power, and undoubtedly he will .succeed in making his. concessions unrecognizable. He will also endeavor to obtain American political and financial aid by. offering Russian Interior markets and by urging an alliance of Russia, Japtn and-America- in the Far JEast." GUTS THE HE5HE Criswell Commits Suicide to Escape Slander Suit. JEROME HAD HIM IN TRAP Publisher, of New Yorker ' Avoids ' Prosecution for Printing Article About Miss Roosevelt and Two Congressmen. NEW YORK, Aug. -L Robert Criswell, the Town Topics man, who was sued by Congressman Rhlnock, of Kentucky, for libeling Miss Alice Roosevelt, was decapi tated by a Subway train at midnight. Criswell printed a story to the effect that Rhlnock introduced bookmakers and oth er shady characters to Miss Roosevelt during her recent isit in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 4. The tragic di'ath of Robert W. Criswell in New York last night, following the complaint mado agalnbt his, paper, the New Yorker, for a publication Involving Congressman Rhln ock. of Covington. Ky.: Miss AJIce Roose velt. Congressman Longworth and others, led to the supposition that It was a. case of suicide caused by the results of the publication. Congressman Rhlnock reached Cincin nati today from a brief absence. He said he waa shocked by the news. "It prob ably was suicide," he said; "but I do not believe the charge I filed against him prompted the act. for Criswell knew there was nothing to" fear in my case. Affairs that the public have not been Informed of. I think, prompted the deed. As a mat ter of fact, I do not believe it is revealing a secret now to say that since the pub lication of his answer to the complaint, Criswell had been summoned to the Dis trict Attorney's office a dozen times on cases entirely distinct from mine. I be lieve Criswell saw himself helplessly en meshed and decided to. end It all. "I believe Criswell was sincerely sorry for tho publication. He did not reveal to me the author of tho article, but promised to do so at the hearing In September, if by that time the man did not come, for ward himself and acknowledge the au thorship. "He was not promised Immunity. I told him I would do what I could for him If he told me all, but that did not mean much, as it was not my case but that of tho District Attorney. I am only a wit ness in whatever the case develops Into, even now. Assistant District Attorney Krotel did not promise him immunity that I know of, but he told Criswell he would be as easy as he could." COLLINS FIGHTS FIERCELY Contends That the Canadian Laws Cannot Extradite Him. VICTORIA. B. C . Aug. 4. George D. Collins, fighting against extradition for perjury, continued his argument on a mo tion for dismissal as a prima facie case was not made out this afternoon, contend ing that the alleged offense must be shown to be an offense under the laws of Cali fornia and those of Canada. Me held It was not an offense under the laws of Cali fornia, therefore not extraditable. The prosecution pointed out that in the case of Murphy, extradited to Illinois from the Interior for forgery. It was held that the-offense did not constitute a crime un der the laws of Illinois, but the fugitive was returned. Collins will continue his argument tomorrow.

REPORT NOW CREDITED Astonishment at Wu Ting Fang's Doublc-Faced Course Is Ex pressed In Washington's Diplomatic Circles WASHINGTON, Aug.- 4.-(SpecIal.) Au thentic Information has reached Washing ton from official sources which makes Wu Ting Fang, the former Chinese Minister, the hub around which tho present anti American agitation in China revolves. In brief, the reports state that Wu Ting Fang has plenary powers to conduct all diplomatic negotiations on trade and ex clusion treaties with the United States, nnd that he Is the one man In China from which the boycott and anti-American so cieties In China take orders. The seriousness of this situation arises from the fact that Wu is occupying a dual position, one of which at least is official, and that, despite Its denials, the Chinese government appears on the face of the reports to be playing double In the present trouble. In Washington the attitude of Wu Ting Fang is regarded with astonishment. While Minister here he was one of the most popular members of the diplomatic corps and his crafty cunning was deeply appreciated. He wag constantly on the alert to agitate the "open door" for the Chinese in the United States and before he left became almost insistent on this point. In this respect his attitude since returning home has been consistent with hi? service here, but that Wu harbored - any animosities against the Americans which would lead to his present reported course Is the sur prising feature. Officials who knew him here say that Wu Ting Fang would know well to what extent agitation of the character which he Is now officially credited with spread ing would go In China. Minister Conger, of Mexico, ex-Minister to China, has been granted a leave of absence for two months and Is coming to Washing ton. It Is stated on reliable authority that he Is coming to save his official life rathor than to talk on the Chinese ques tlon. THINKS ALARM TOO GREAT Barrett Says lilr Treatment of Chin ese Will End Boycott. " SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. John Bar rett, the newly appointed Minister to Co lombia, is here In connection with the commercial relations existing between the United States and China, particularly as regards the boycott Inaugurated by the Chinese guilds against American prod ucts. He Insists, however, that his mis sion is not of official character, but simply to acquaint himself with the feel lng of the people of the Coast as to the boycott, and Interview some of the mer chants who are engaged in the Oriental trade. Mr. Barrett, while conceding that the Chinese guilds are all-powerful in Xbelc country. i of the opinion that the present alarm shown by the people of this country over the action of the Chinese Is unnecessarily exaggerated. He firmly be lieves that whatever grievance the Chi nese guilds have will soon be dlsoelled when they are made to realize that the United States Government is disposed to act fairly with them In the matter or immigration. He is also of the opinion that this coun try's future policy as regards the Orient will depend much upon the results of the peace conference between the representa tives of Japan and Russia, and predicts that the next two years will witness a great change In the policy of the United States, a chancre attended bv a. noticeable Improvement In commercial relations In the Far East. GRAFT ON" CHINESE LABORERS Chinese Officials Accused of llold- 'ing Emigrants at Hongkong. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. It developed today that a report recently received at the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service from Passed Assistant Surgeon M. J. White, stationed at Hong Kong, cnina, charges that a ring composed en tlrely of Influential Chinese are "holding up" their countrymen intending to emi grate to the united States. Surgeon White expressed the opinion that the matter should be submitted to the Chi nese government for Inquiry, and that as slstanco should be given by- officers of this Government in unearthing the lm position which he believes is being prac ticed on Chinese Immigrants. Surgeon White's report was based on charges that Marine Hospital surgeons stationed at Chinese ports have conspired to hold up Chinese persona entitled to ad mission to the United States. He said he bad made a thorough Investigation Into the charges, and expressed the belief that no surgeons in the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service are Implicated In the alleged practice. BUILD WARSHIPS FOR CHINA Governors of Provinces Will Present Them to Government. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 4. Threo Chi nese Viceroys arc agitating the question of the construction of warships by their provinces for presentation to the Chinese government.

SMALL HOPE FOR ISLANDS Sugar and Tobacco Hobby Will Shelve Tariff Reduction. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 1. There is little prospect that the duty on Philippine sugar and tobacco will h reduced at tha vmJrnr session of Congress. The same influences ! that prevented a reduction of this duty I In the last Congress will probably be able to accomplish as much In the 69th Con- , gress, particularly as there will be a num- , ber of more Important matters to engross i the time of both Senate and House. One thing which Secretary Taft hoped . to accomplish by his trlD to tho Philip- pines was to convince several Senators i ana representatives from the beet-sugar and tobacco states that It would bo ad visable to let down the tariff bars on these Philippine products. The Secretary has maintained from the first that the amount of sugar produced in the islands would never be sufficient to affect the price of American sugar; he has stoutly asserted that the cost of transportation from the Philippines to this country would offset the difference In price of production. But. even should tho Secretary succeed In changing the views of Senator Patter son, of Colorado, and a few others In his party, he will not b awe to change the views of the men who stayed at home. As a matter of fact, the men from the sugar states are even now actively at work building up an organization with the pur pose of preventing the enactment of any law reducing the tariff on Philippine sugar. And they are meeting with con siderable success. Such an organization, properly managed, will bo able to defeat any legislation that may be proposed. The fact of the matter is. Congress, or rather the Senate, is going to have very little time next Winter to take up the Philippine question. Between the railroad rate bill, the Panama Canal bill, and a possible general tariff till, there will be nn tlrriA ttt fnr tti PhlJInnln" anA a H a termlncd minority In the Senate, by care- J ful co-operation, will be able to defeat any legislation of comparative minor Im portance. Many Senators have, or profess to have. a deep interest In the welfare of the Phil ippine Islands, but, when it comes to a choice between vital legislation affecting the United States and legislation of rela tive importance to the Islands, the latter , must be sidetracked. That is the fate In ! store for any Philippine tariff bill that , may be brought forward. (inftiiniounn nviniio ror ! Converted on Sight, He Showed Con tinued Religious Faithfulness. New York Sun.

"Tom" showed remarkable Intelligence. He learned how lo pray, with his head sunk low between his forepaws. He learned to sing, accompanying himself with thumpings upon the piano. He would st silent and respectful as a religious procession paosed In or out of the cathe dral, and never once has he tried to enter thfe portals of that sacred building. That ho was a beloved pet of everyone In the neighborhood, and of the archbishop most of all, goep without saying. Last week Mgr. Ryan nearly lost him, only to possess him again, and more truly than ever. He was taking his dally walk with "Tom" when a man approached him, claimed the dog, proved ownership, and then said: "But have I not seen in the papers, father, that you have a birthday very soon?" "Yes, I will be 74 on the 20th," was the reply. Whereupon the new-found owner sur rendered "Tom" for good and all, and the archbishop declares his conscience Is onca more at peace when he says: "Yes. he's my dog." Jockey Walsh In Good Standing.
